Denny Dent's Jimi Hendrix painting.

Back in college, Kenny Vaughn made me a "clips" VHS tape that jumped around, randomly showing me cool or interesting things that he'd collected in his video collection. One of the tapes began with this very clip.



It was the summer that I'd just discovered Jimi Hendrix. I'd drive around at night, running errands, listening to Hendrix cranked up loud, with the windows rolled down, coasting on the backroads of Bowling Green, Ky.

It was a good summer.

It was good music.

It was a good time in my life.

And watching this video brings me back there and reminds me of that time.

But for you, the viewer without those nostalgic strings attached, it's just a cool video of a guy doing a public arts exhibition to a Hendrix song. And yes, it is interesting to see paint frenetically flung up at a wall and somehow forming a coherent picture.

You can learn more about Denny Dent and his work, by clicking here.

Cheers,
Mr.B
